Our community was founded by French traders in the late 18th Century,
and grew into a prosperous farming community with the addition of
German immigrants from 1830 to 1850. St. Peters incorporated as a town
in 1910 and became a City of the Fourth Class under Missouri statutes in 1959.
This new classification allowed St. Peters to issue bonds to build an
infrastructure for water and wastewater treatment. In 1970, St. Peters
population was 486, but the groundwork was set to handle amazing
growth—from 486 people in 1970 to 15,700 in 1980 to 40,660 in 1990 to
nearly 53,000 today. PURCHASE A ST. PETERS HISTORY BOOK.
